Answer:

The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of smallest whole number of atoms.

Molecular formula:

It gives the total number of atoms in a molecule of compound.

The molecular formula and empirical formula can be related as follow:

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Given data:

Empirical formula = CH₂O

Molecular formula = ?

It is stated in given problem that molecular formula is the 6 times of the empirical formula.

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Molecular formula = 6 × CH₂O

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.

<span>Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product. Since we are not given the mass of CO2 in this problem, we assume that we have 1 g of CO2 available. We calculate as follows:</span>

<span>1 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2 ) ( 12 mol H2O / 6 mol CO2 ) ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 0.82 g of H2O is needed</span>

However, if the amount given of CO2 is not one gram, then you can simply change the starting value in the calculation and solve for the mass of water needed.
